ABC has pulled Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" just days before its Sunday premiere, a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.
The move comes amid reports that "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, are involved in an ongoing domestic violence investigation.
A new video published by TMZ on Thursday showed Paul attacking Mortensen in front of her daughter during an earlier incident in 2023.
“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of ‘The Bachelorette’ at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family," Disney said in its statement.
Representatives for Paul did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Trump-appointed board of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted unanimously Monday to shutter the arts mecca for two years for renovations.“Major renovations are required to keep the facility functional, and that will start right after July 4,” the center's vice president of public relations, Roma Daravi, said in a statement.“This project will transform the Center into a world-class destination worthy of the nation’s legacy and future — a landmark where every American is welcome to experience artistic excellence and premiere entertainment,” Daravi said
